Matthew
25:35-42 (New International Version)
35 For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was
thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me
in, 36 I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick
and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.'
37 Then the righteous will answer him, 'Lord, when did we see
you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? 38 When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? 39 When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?'
40 The King will reply, 'I tell you the truth, whatever you
did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.'
I
will start with an apology on my tardiness publishing this report (getting to
be a bad habit).
We
were at David Clifton Ministries building for our last
FMP there. They are about to demolish that building so all the power and water
was off and the signs telling the homeless when to come to be fed were gone but
unlike last time there was a large crowd of homeless already assembled. We had
a slim crew this time. It was Stacy, Gracie, Greg,
Paco, J.R.,
We
unloaded and set up.
We
had a lot of clothes to give this time due to my brother Steve and several
other donors.
The
food was soon ready and the feeding began.
It
was obvious we were going to run out of food so Paco and I headed out to
McDonalds to get some cheeseburgers. We got 52 of them and they went quick. We
had just enough food (God always provides).
Then
we packed our stuff up and helped clean up around the facility. Please pray for
the new location. David Clifton has found a possible place near this one.
Please
pray for Jay and Mark and Martin and Jose.
Please
pray for all the homeless whose names God knows!
Today
we fed sloppy joes, chips, applesauce (Thanks to
Karla!), bread and pastries (Thanks to King Soopers),
LOTS of clothing and shoes, coffee, cheeseburgers and much more.
Thank
ALL of you again who prayed and who continue praying for this ministry!!
We
also gave out Bibles. Please pray for those people who took them to find wisdom
and God’s Love in them.
Please
contact any of us or Dan Thoemke if you have ANY items for next time (pants,
coats, shirts, sweaters, gloves, socks, hats, scarves, backpacks, shoes/boots,
duffels, sleeping bags/blankets) or if you would like to come along or donate
toward the food. PLEASE pray about our efforts and especially for these people
listed here!!! Prayers do not cost you ANYTHING!!
Thanks!
